Two different directions
ESPN has given its midseason report cards, and not surprisingly, the Jets and Pats have both received A's.
What is interesting is that even though the Pats just had their first loss 2 weeks ago, the Jets had only their second loss this past week, and they played a tight game in their first meeting, is that these teams may be headed in different directions.
The Patriots in their win last week showed an ability to overcome an amazing rash of injuries to their secondary, and over the rest of the season will hopefully get some key players back. Their schedule gets much easier from here.
Meanwhile, the Jets have just lost their field general, and face a brutal end of the season schedule.
The Pats will have to get healthy to make a run at another title, but they just have to avoid getting much unhealthier to hold on to the AFC East. Meanwhile, Jets fans are saying that if Pennington misses more than 2 games, the Jets may be out of luck for the playoffs.
